Abstract:
Efforts currently are being made to arrive at pollution abatement standards for the poultry processing industry. Once a set of effluent limits are established, individual firms have several alternatives to meet the best available control requirements by altering in-plant techniques and modifying waste water treatment systems. This study provides information on current cost and expenditure levels for waste water treatment in the poultry processing industry in Georgia. The primary objective was to provide an assessment of the probable industry cost of achieving higher levels of treatment which are required under new pollution control guidelines. Changes needed for individual plants will vary depending on the nature of the waste, the degree and kind of treatment, and the size and location of the firm.
